I started off playing a lot of blues as a kid, but gave it up as I didn't want to end up fat.

Going by the curve on the back & how it fits to the contour of the body, I'd say it's made for the fatter bassist.

That's a good read. I need/want more FX!

I'd say pretty much the same as Letts did, or maybe octave, graphic, fuzz, chorus (usually OC before any other FX). But play around & find out what you like the sound of. Like Shep says, an enevelope filter is a useful thing for synth sounds.

Well as Brian's mum says, "That's disgusting!" (from Monty Python's Life of Brian)

[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' timestamp='1328888776' post='1534427'] It's what you pay to Ent or Sir Paul. Perhaps Sting. [/quote] That's what I thought it was.

Or is it maybe Lefties are more skilled with the bass & therefore don't need pedals?

Ummm.... Is it because left handed people find it harder to balance on one foot & press things with the other?

Remember that a left handed one might be even rarer & dearer!

Oh, another option is the Source Audio BEF (or if funds stretch, the BEF Pro). You can add a hot hand (like an expression pedal turned into a ring for your finger) & do anything from funk to dubstep. Worth looking at too.

I'm using your shudder, in the form of a CE-2. Doesn't actually belong to me, but it is a good chorus.

I'd say the 2 guys to ask would be Higgie or Pantherairsoft. Between them they've probably had every filter pedal ever made.

I've got the CMD102P & it does all my needs adequately. Keep your 2x10 & add it to it. Another option is just to get another MB2x10 or do what KK says.

^^ Good point. Worth checking your manual, the Little Mark heads have a jumper to make the DI Pre or Post.

You could take the DI out from the amp into any mixer that has a headphone socket. Just DON"T take a line from one of the speaker outs to anything other than a speaker.

Oh, & get entering the photo comp (sticky in Off Topic).

Not tried it but.... Upside: If it's a bigger cab, then you might get more bottom end & move more air. Downside: Different size driver/make of cab etc, could cause frequency issues where you lose certain notes as each cab cancels the other out. Either or: Might drastically alter your sound.

They're not. Think of it like a head & a single 8Ω cab. Also watts do not equate to the SPL. It doesn't quite work like that. Your combo (the newer version of mine) is just the same as buying a LMIII & a 2x10 8Ω cab. It puts out the same SPL, the cab is rated at 400w & the xmax is the same & so on. If it was a 4Ω cab, you're still gonna have a 400w cab that is still gonna give the same amount of SPL but you wouldn't be able to add another cab to it to increase that SPL. So when looking at combos, go for the ones that are on an 8Ω load so you can add to it (as opposed to being stuck when you run out of oomph & canny add another cab).

Being passive, I think I lose about 25-30% (though I haven't checked this). I have a volume on the A/B switch to balance between loop or bypass. Going into the mixer section, if one channel is off the other does not increase in volume, so makes no odds as I just increase the input gain to compensate. So everything is easily balanced to be the same volume regardless of what is or isn't on.

Has he looked at himself playing that bass? He looks like he has "special needs".

It cost me less than £20 to make that pedal & what you're wanting could be done in a smaller box.

Time passes quick on here! You're one of us now!!! Mwwwaaahahahahahaaaa

Ignore how many watts it is gonna give you at 8Ω, it doesn't directly equate to how loud a thing is. My MB combo is marketed by shops at being 400w (no idea where they get that figure from, probably as it's 2 200w drivers). The head is 500w @ 4Ω & as it's basically attached to an 8Ω 2x10, is about 300-350w @ 8Ω. TC electronics make an amp that is marketed at being 450w at 4Ω but actually only puts out 236w at 4Ω. But it's apparently as loud as an amp marketed at 450w.

I personally wouldn't go for the Ampeg cab, it's overpriced compared to the competition. The Ashdown & TC cabs look to be better value, though I would go & try them out & see what you like the sound of. Also worth taking a look at is EBS. They have this...
